“This is a family owned and operated business, that has been in business since the late 1940s,” said owner Marilyn Laster. “My son and I have operated this business since 2000, which makes us in our 14th season.”

Laster said they were trained by the previous owner A.W. Rowland.

“Mr. Rowland operated this business until his 80th birthday,” said Laster. “He has more knowledge about plants than my son and I put together.”
